Barbecue rubs are compared similar to the way wine experts compare fine wines. Just as the same grape will vary when used in one wine versus another, each is created in a special way by its creator. The consumer barbecuer makes his own decision. There are many cook off contests held all across the US. Many of them will be associated with Fairs or Festivals. Many of the manufacturers will participate in these contests hoping for a "Best In Show" to use to promote their products. Barbecue Rubs are very popular in gift baskets or packages. A package of 3 or 4 different varieties is a gift that is well received by a serious addict.
